Why is it feminine?
Especias is feminine because it derives from Latin "species," a feminine noun meaning "appearance," "kind," or "spice." In Spanish, the Latin feminine nominative singular ending "-es" regularly evolved into "-ia" through normal sound changes, preserving the original feminine gender. This pattern is consistent with other Spanish feminine nouns derived from Latin feminines ending in "-es" (e.g., Latin "malitia" > Spanish "malicia").
